Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The investigation has determined that lower than expected results were obtained from two different patient samples and a single level of non-vitros biorad liquichek immunoassay plus lot 1003930 control using vitros vancomycin (vanc) reagent lot 2514-57-3336 on a vitros xt 7600 integrated system.The assignable cause of the lower-than-expected results was a reagent pack related issue.The affected results were isolated to two different reagent packs.The issue with the affected reagent packs is unknown.The inventory of vitros vanc reagent lot 2514-57-3336 was depleted at the site and acceptable performance was obtained using an alternate reagent lot.Except for the affected reagent packs, there was no indication that vitros vanc reagent lot 2514-57-3336 was not performing as intended, based on historical quality control results.Continual tracking and trending of complaints has not identified any signals that would point to a potential systemic performance issue with vitros vanc reagent lot 2514-57-3336.Although no diagnostic within-run precision testing was performed to assess the performance of the vitros xt 7600 system, acceptable results were obtained from an alternate vitros vanc reagent lot without performing any actions to optimize the instrument.
